Sometime practicer of "free love," an editor of the old Masses, a pillar of the Provincetown Players, Floyd Dell used to seem the embodiment of intellectually flaming youth. Times have changed, but not Floyd Dell, 46. In this confidentially candid autobiography, Mooncalf Dell looks back on his generation's brief blooming, feels that it is good to be settled down.
